Hello everyone,

I'm installing new carpet in the interior. The previous owner removed all of the carpet, so I've been driving a rather empty looking car for the past couple of months.

I figured out all the pieces except for one. It's a rectangular piece, 7 inches by 16 1/2 inches. No idea where it goes. Was at a local meet this morning, and no one there knew either. Figured I'd see if you guys could help.



Thanks!

At the firewall above the pedals ....



I'm surprised they didn't include a pic like above or instructions with the it!?

PS Scott - as a photog, I'm surprised that you didn't whip out a camera before you removed the old one! Note to self - "Shoot everything first before & during disassembly on my 914."

Thanks Tom!

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. No photos or instructions, but I had seen that photo floating around somewhere once.

If I had removed the old carpet, I would have. The previous owner took out the old carpet.

I just did new carpet and that piece goes above the pedal board or at least it did on my car. There's a vertical metal area there.

Very few suppliers include instructions for replacement parts. Luckily, all the info is available on the net.

Hello Bruce,

I didn't buy it. It came with the car. I'll double check the folder of paperwork and receipts from the previous owner, but I don't recall seeing one for the carpet.

There are several carpet kits that show up on Google searches. Some have holes pre-cut for an additional charge, and others do not. Mine did not have holes pre-cut. It was simple enough to cut holes where needed and in my opinion, not worth spending more for carpets with pre-cut holes.

ok I know this may sound dumb but 10 pieces..why? wouldn't it make more sense to make this out of 1-3 pieces? Has anybody done this? I'm looking at pic and wondering if the whole middle thing could be made and bound for a much cleaner look and easier to maintain carpet....

No. No puropse to make less pieces. Not at all practical. Look at where the pieces go.
